“Carrying the Earth to the Sky”

 

“Carrying the Earth to the Sky” will present works by 13 artists who are currently active in the contemporary art scene in Munich. The artists were selected in a two-stage process. First each of the 37 participants of VARIOUS OTHERS nominated one artist currently living in Munich. From this group, an international jury consisting of four institutional curators selected 13 artists who will show their work as part of the VARIOUS OTHERS program in September. The jury acknowledged that the quality of the applications received made their task both exciting and challenging. The final selection of multi-generational artists reflects the desire to see art beyond fixed categories and clichés and to honour distinctive works.

The exhibition’s curator, Magdalena Wisniowska, has meticulously chosen the works in collaboration with the artists. These will be presented together in an overarching curatorial concept at Schillerstraße 38 under the title “Carrying the Earth to the Sky”.

"The earth is something human, something we keep under our feet. The sky high above is without air, where no living thing can breathe. Moving away from one to the other means letting go of the earth and constructions that belong to it – actions, bodies, objects, sensations and desires – until only the elements, disconnected molecules, remain.

The exhibition “Carrying the Earth to the Sky” brings together 13 Munich based artists, that were nominated by the members of VARIOUS OTHERS and selected by an international jury. Their artworks are multifaceted and reveal many different creative languages. When making their selection, the jury felt a need to recognize artistic production beyond fixed categories. This is the task of letting go: to give materials and concepts space. The artworks will be presented in a temporary venue, across several floors, in empty rooms, full of blue light."

We would like to express our gratitude to all supporters of the exhibition, particularly the owners of the property at Schillerstraße 38, the Cultural Department of the City of Munich, the Edith-Haberland-Wagner Foundation and Serviceplan Group for their generous support.

Jury:
Rosa Ferré (TBA21, Madrid)
Luis Silva (Kunsthalle Lissabon)
Nicola Trezzi (CCA, Tel Aviv)
Vivien Trommer (K21, Düsseldorf)

Curator:
Dr. Magdalena Wisniowska

"Carrying the Earth to the Sky" präsentiert Werke von 13 Künstler:innen, die derzeit in der zeitgenössischen Kunstszene Münchens aktiv sind. Die Auswahl der Künstler:innen erfolgte in einem zweistufigen Prozess: Zunächst normierten alle 37 Teilnehmenden von VARIOUS OTHERS eine in München lebende künstlerische Position. Aus diesem Kreis wählte eine international besetzte Jury, bestehend aus vier institutionell arbeitenden Kurator:innen, die Künstler:innen aus, die nun im September im Rahmen von VARIOUS OTHERS präsentiert werden.

Die Jury würdigt die hohe Qualität der eingegangenen Bewerbungen, die ihre Aufgabe so schwierig wie auch spannend gemacht hat. Ihre endgültige Auswahl von Künstler:innen aus mehreren Generationen spiegelt den Wunsch wider, Kunst jenseits von festen Kategorien und Klischees zu sehen und unverwechselbare Werke zu würdigen.

Die Kuratorin der Ausstellung, Magdalena Wisniowska, hat die präsentierten Werke gemeinsam mit den Künstler:innen sorgfältig ausgewählt und wird diese in einem übergreifenden kuratorischen Konzept in der Schillerstraße 38, unter dem Titel „Carrying the Earth to the Sky“, präsentieren.

"Die Erde ist etwas Menschliches, etwas, das wir unter unseren Füßen haben. Der Himmel hoch oben ist ohne Luft, wo nichts Lebendiges mehr atmen kann. Sich von dem einem zum anderen zu bewegen, bedeutet, die Erde und die zu ihr gehörenden Konstruktionen - Handlungen, Körper, Objekte, Empfindungen und Wünsche - loszulassen, bis nur noch die Elemente, unverbundene Moleküle, übrigbleiben. Die Ausstellung versammelt 13 Münchner Künstlerinnen und Künstler, die von den Teilnehmern von VARIOUS OTHERS nominiert und von einer internationalen Jury ausgewählt wurden. Ihre Arbeiten sind sehr vielfältig und weisen unterschiedlichste kreative Sprachen auf. Bei ihrer Auswahl war es der Jury ein Bedürfnis, die künstlerische Produktion jenseits fester Kategorien zu würdigen. Das ist die Aufgabe des Loslassens: Materialien und Konzepten Raum zu geben. Die Werke werden an einem temporären Ort präsentiert, verteilt über mehrere Etagen, in leeren Räumen, voller blauem Licht."

Wir möchten allen Unterstützer:innen der Ausstellung, vor allem den Eigentümer:innen der Immobilien in der Schillerstraße 38, dem Kulturreferat der Landeshauptstadt München, der Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Stiftung und der Serviceplan Group für ihre großzügige Förderung herzlich danken.

Sad Saturday

Paul Valentin's room, 1st Floor, Haus 2, Schillerstr. 38
As some of you know, I have been doing a Sad Tuesdays reading group on and off for some time.  The idea was you would read but not socialise, ie. not drink. It is why I started writing "Sad Mondays" for Porcile, which essentially was such a one-person book club. Well, I am trying again this time on Saturday, and I am going to call it "Sad Saturday" - hah! - because I am so inventive. It will be part of the Various Other Special exhibition, Carrying the Earth to the Sky, which I also curated. The first takes place this Saturday, the 14th, the next one week later, at 5 pm.
We will be reading fragments of Deleuze's short text "Michel Tournier and the World without Others" on which my exhibition text is based. Here is a link to the Logic of Sense, where the essay can be found but photocopies will be available at the site as well.
Hope to see you there!
